Quad 8 track output?
#1

Hello, been a while since I posted anything, havnt done to much with tubes for a while but thought maybe someone with a better electronics background could help out with a problem. Anyway,

I have always used a componant type 8 track deck with pre amp/line outs connected to a solid state amp. I want to replace it with a realistic quadraphonic player that only has amplified/speaker outs (has a 2 channel stereo option). Can I connect the deck via a voltage divider to drop the signal to line level without any damage to the output transistors, since it wouldnt have the 8 ohm speaker load? or would it be better to tap into the preamp portion of the circuit? Im hoping i can connect it without modifing the deck itself. 

Any input would be greatly appriciated, Thanks, Todd
